I personally found Fortis boots’ communication very easy. There are small language errors, but from my experience there was nothing which affected any part of asking, designing and ordering a pair of boots. Set aside a little time and it’s all sorted out, no stress.
I didn't have any issues with the language barrier either. Like you could tell he's not a native speaker but there weren't any total misunderstandings.
Very unique set of boots! Love the Upland configuration you went with (My choice preferably) The Roughout and color is also awsome. Thanks for sharing another great vid
Bandung has more than 2 million people, and is one of the larger cities in Indonesia. If that's a town, I'm going to start calling Perth a neighboring town of Sydney....
Awaiting my order of these. Communication not too bad really. I changed out sole- went with honey Vibram for more stability. Lots of style to these boots!
For info, "Rohan", one of the first clothing companies to introduce lightweight hiking and travel clothing back in the 1970s was named after Lord of the Rings. They also named garments after characters and have had trousers (or breeches originally) in their collections called Strider much of the time since then. Regarding sizing, traditionally hiking boots should be worn a little larger because if you have long and steep descents at the end of the day you are in danger of losing your toenails otherwise. And because thicker socks and double socks are often used, the latter to help prevent blisters.
Thanks Teik...Not sure the boots are for me, but I appreciate the niche you were aiming for and the design that went into each element. As for the hardware, given that they are the Aragorn boots, maybe they should be made from Mithril on future boots ;-)
Small businesses could contact colleges and see if their students would develop their web sites as a school project. I'm a management teacher and we are always looking for real project that students can do.
I'd really adore to have these boots and hopefully they'd make the modification to not include speed hooks (not a fan on them on any boots) being a fan of lord of the rings and the overall design of the boot, I'd probably wear them everywhere. I have a few brown Thursday boots but nothing burgundy like these 😱 and nothing with a flat sole. But the language barrier and having to somehow get their attention on WhatsApp, idk. Im not even sure what size I'd be in the strider if I'm a 9 in Thursdays, I'd guess I'd have to use that branic device thing? I hope someday they will improve their customer service so I can buy a pair more easily 🙏 I could even see myself camping with these. Also, a favorite quote of mine from Aragorn from the two towers: "There is always hope." ❤️
If you're on IG or WhatsApp, just send them a photo of your feet and tape measure beside and they'll work it out. And they wil change anything you want - speedhooks or other
I just ordered a custom pair based on hearing about the brand on your channel, and Sany replied within 24 hour hours max to all my messages, sometimes replying immediately even though I'm pretty sure it was quite late in Indonesia. So maybe he's getting better at responsiveness. I ordered through instagram DMs, so maybe he's also just faster there than on whatsapp.
Love these boots Teik!!! They have so much dang personality
thanks Teik for putting Fortis on the map!!!!!!! i've got a couple pair inbound and can't wait to get my hands on them!!!!!!

Great vids! What country are you filming in? Love that you give the local people/culture at shoutout/homage at the beginning of your videos.
Australia
Great honest review Teik. Do you mind sharing the type of insole you are using? My fortis are a little too roomy as well
I use an Australian brand called Neat Feet
I love that color
